I don't have the packaging anymore, but the battery itself, a silver plastic
box about 6" x 3" x 3/4", is labeled "Endurance" brand, and I see a number that
may be the model number, "23-561".  It is a 9V/6000mAh Lithium ion battery, and
I recall it was advertised to work with most portable DVD players.  It ships
with an AC adapter for charging, and a short spiraled cable that goes from it
tothe DVD player (or, alternatively, your MP 780).  It comes with 3 or 4 DC plug
adapters that allow it to be inserted into a variety of jacks.  That's all of
the info I can provide.  I don't recall seeing a lot of other similar products
when I bought it at RadioShack, so you shouldn't have too much trouble, as long
as it's not been discontinued.

Actually, just found it on the RadioShack website:

Thanks to this thing, I haven't rebooted my 780 in months now, and it's been
halfway 'round the world and back (seriously, 24 hours in luggage in standby
mode).

Good luck.
